It seems it was a glitch in Vista.
For some reason when I installed V1.5.2 (not V1.5.1.2 as I said in my previous post), for some reason TB still had V1.5.1.2. I deleted it and re-installed and it is OK now.

However it still has the original problem of WMDC not launching TB and Birdiesync when it WMDC autosyncs, - and when I change anything in the addressbook or calendar they do not automatically sync and I have to sync manually.

Maybe there was a cache problem with the extensions manager in Thunderbird.

Presently, no particular changes have been made yet to deal with the synchronization frequency on Vista. It means that the WMDC, although it appears to regularly synchronize after the first synchronization, actually doesn't do anything (at least it never interacts with BirdieSync...).

For the moment, no real time synchronization is implemented in BirdieSync when a card, event, etc. is modified in Thunderbird/Sunbird. So it is possible to implement this feature but it should take some time to be developped. For the moment, it is still necessary to manually launch the synchronization.

I have got into the habit of manually syncing when I change anything anyway - so not a problem, although it will be nice at some point to have it done automatically - just for those occassions when I forget
